To live in the right way is a very difficult art, and unless one begins to learn it when quite young and to make an effort, one never knows it very well
T
he universe yields its secrets to the inquiring mind and active soul having insatiable quest for truth and mysteries of nature. An ever evolving and continuously changing curriculum to this date is the most powerful means of educating youth amidst rapid technological developments, interplay of social, economic, demographic and political forces, emerging national and international imperatives and ever flowing social changes and consequent educational transformation. In planning the curriculum in KIIT a mention is always made of the perennial wisdom contained in the advice of the divine Mother – “to live in the right way is a very difficult art, and unless one begins to learn it when quite young and to make an effort, one never knows it very well”. Self study, self learning and self progress leading to self development are basic to the teaching-learning process, It is with this realization that in KIIT a learning environment is so created that students remain in close contact with nature, grow with love and regard for the eco-system and protection of environment, pursue games and sports, creative hobbies like music, dance, drama, painting and fine arts - all integrated within the curriculum and in day to day activities. In order to effectively meet the unknown challenges of the new century the faculty and students at KIIT are taking recourse to newer strategies to give a new meaning and new orientation to
professional education by shifting the emphasis from a more routine type of learning to creative thinking and problem solving. Students are made aware of the fact that the impending times, characterized by innovations and improvisations would require people who are flexible in their approach, trainable in new areas, and are ready to use their minds differently to solve the hitherto unknown problems. The rapid and multidimensional socio-economic changes, wide ranging economic reforms and large scale industrialization have necessitated for the need to ensure economic relevance of professional education. Computerization and modernization have created demand for multi-skilled individuals suitable for variety of areas. The students coming out of the Engineering, IT & Management and Education courses are going to face the challenge of changing occupational roles in their future working life. Our endeavour therefore, is to provide a spectrum of skills, ability in students to be adaptive and flexible. KIIT is of firm belief that in order to effectively face the fluid situation the professional education system has to renounce its aloofness from the world of work and defiantly come out of its shell to face the challenge of growing needs of the industry, business and the service sector. With this in view the Training and Placement Cell of KIIT keeps a close liaison with the concerned industries, business and other service organizations. It has been a Herculean task for the Souvenir Committee to include all the multifarious events and activities being conducted in the KIIT Group of Colleges in an annual Souvenir. This Souvenir along with the Newsletters brought out quarterly will tell the total story of justifying our efforts to make KIIT a destination where education meets professionalism. However, the contents presented do intend to showcase in brief the eternal march towards our goal of excellence by integrating knowledge with faith, ability with character and skill with work ethics. Prof. (Dr.) M. Sen Gupta Chief Editor & Chairman, Souvenir Publication Committee
Value
Education Importance of morality and ethics propagated on KIIT campus The prevalent morality, in both individual life and social life, is mostly based on fear – fear of the police, fear of public ridicule, fear of God’s punishment, fear of Karma, and so on. Vivekananda has given a new theory of ethics and new principle of morality based on the intrinsic purity and oneness of the Atman. We should be pure because purity is our real nature, our true divine Self or Atman. Similarly, we should love and serve our neighbours because we are all one in the Supreme Spirit known as Paramatman or Brahman. Such divine thoughts form the intrinsic framework around which KIIT World spins the canvas of morality and ethics in education and carves a niche for itself by setting visible examples. KIIT is not the archetypal and fossilized facade of a
commercial educational hub but a sacrosanct abode of learning which nurtures the mind, body and soul of the students and staff. As the adage goes “The most difficult journey is the journey inwards into one’s own mind and soul” and without accomplishing this journey no one can actually claim to be successful in the right manner. The centrifugal and centripetal, churning forces of life throw a person
outward and inward and in order to surpass such forces and be at peace, one needs a strong conditioning of soul which carries us forward with a sense of detachment, yet stimulates us towards vibrancy and success. Keeping in view these foundational concepts of life, KIIT unleashes an aura which transcends into the minds of its students and ushers them towards the journey of life in a more wholesome and productive manner. Despite innovative efforts made by most of the educational organizations, the task of striking this chord is the most difficult part. The need of the hour is therefore, to understand that without a sound value system a person cannot go very far and the best laid plan ought to go wrong. KIIT World was set up primarily with the sacred notion of providing wholesome education and is managed and run by an established philanthropic trust-Vidyapati Sanasthan set up in 1969 by Shri B. R Kamrah and Smt Satya Kamrah. Ispite of various obstacles encountered en route, educational institutes run by the Society including KIIT World have grown as educational temples.
Dynamism of KIIT Ethos: Vision & Mission
As an intrinsic part of the dynamic ethos of KIIT it considers its students as valuable assets towards the enrichment of the institute. The mission of KIIT world is to create a world class educational institute catering to all round development of the students in both tangible and intangible manner. The philosophy enshrined is to bridge the generation gap by creating an environment of amicable vibes and purity. This is required in the present scenario because the youth of today needs a direction and has immense potential in making a breakthrough in any pursuit in order to march towards excellence. Further enhancement of KIIT potential is the main visionary principle behind crossing endless horizons. KIIT credentials are based on the firm belief that quality and
transparency and common goal of achieving excellence. For dreams to be realized one must be the translator of dreams, a demonstrator of passion for pursuing the dream i.e. to be successful one must be willing to learn and not be afraid of change. As students are the soul of a college, they should embrace a mindset of “humble confidence” and a belief in one’s abilities. KIIT vision encompasses the idea of creating value based
professionals who are geared up to face the challenges of life in a multi faceted manner. This is a paradigm shift from the run of the mill education shops which operate on short term gains. Honesty is the necessary ingredient in creating the knowledge pool and industry – academia synergy. The vision and mission of KIIT is in tandem with the paradigm of excellence and sublime spiritual existence which go hand in glove.
value based education is the need of the time and we as the torch bearers have to take upon ourselves the onus of imparting the same. KIIT is committed to value-oriented and quality education for Our Vision the students aimed at developing them ‘'We aim to be one of the foremost and premier institutes of quality education, as complete human beings, well learning, research and development, which provides world class and innovative educated and, trained and opportunities to students to become successful entrepreneurs and leaders.'' accomplished individuals. All this ca n b e a c h ieved w it h in a framework of discipline,
Our highest value is placed on our students and their educational goals. Interwoven in that value, is our recognition that the faculty and staff of the College are its source of strength, stability and driving force.
Manifestation in the form of practical tasks The KIIT campus can be compared with an oasis in a desert. The campus reverberates with an aura which soothes and pacifies the soul. One immediately beholds the greenery and the nature in its full grandeur. Flowers, fruits, creepers and a variety of flora and fauna with green lawns and playfields present an ideal setting for spiritual and educational upliftment. The spiritual and ethical disposition of the Chairman Shri B. R Kamrah is manifested in the installation of magnificent busts of great luminaries like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: The springing Tiger, Father of the nation: Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda: A resonant voice and a brilliant intellect, Acharya Vinobha Bhave: The initiator of the Bhoodan Movement and Didi Nirmala Deshpande: Padma Vibushan. Tribute and homage is paid to these visionaries on their birth and death anniversaries which incorporate a connect between the present generation and age old values and
ethics. Such an ethically congenial atmosphere sets an example for the students to emulate and absorb in their path of life, a value system that enables them to keep themselves grounded in prosperity and adversity. There is a culture of organizing “Havans” and “Yagyas” for the greater good of mankind. Every year in the month of November on Kartik Poornima, the institute remembers Smt Satya Kamrah wherein rich tributes are paid to her after a Poornahuti of 3-day long yagya. The focus of such spiritually stimulating exercises is to clean the campus atmosphere of all pollutants and strengthening the spirit of PANTH NIRPEKSHATA. Inspirational quotes and sayings jot the campus streets and one cannot but imbibe their essence in daily life. These serve as eye openers, guiding lights and reprimands according to one’s state of mind. One can in no way ignore their undercurrents.
The cultural and traditional inclination of KIIT is predominantly visible in its affiliation and association with SPIC MACAY, under whose aegis numerous cultural bonanzas are organized on the campus. These serve as reaffirmation of the rich heritage and culture of our country in the minds of students and staff. The novelty and dynamism of our lineage remains fresh as a result of this. The oneness of mind and soul can only be achieved in a fit body and to nurture this, the campus also boasts of a Meditation Hall”(Chinta Mukti Kendra) with the marble statue of Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati. It provides an ideal setting for havens and meditation including Yoga. Such an aspect of heightened spiritual endeavours sets KIIT apart. From time to time numerous lectures and symposiums are organized to impart value education on the campus. Focus is on customizing the traditional Gandhian values in the current perspective of teacher-student relationship. To achieve this, the role of a teacher has to be reiterated. These form an integral part of the curriculum along with hard core subjects. However nowhere is the essence of metaphysics undermined. This sublime intermingling of facts and factual realms of human existence is akin to a jewel in the glittering crown of KIIT.
“Be free to speak plainly all the year long. I’m happy with the truth of my own sweet song.” (Translation: On the Wings of Hummingbirds by Rabindranath Tagore)
Year 2011 marked the 150th birthday celebrations of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. KIIT organized and coordinated several commemorative tributes to the literary icon of India. This included marvelous showcasing of the multi-facetted discussion on Tagore and his literary and art works. It encompassed his specialized art forms which are today seen as his ‘avtaars’ in the genre of arts and aesthetics. Prof M. Sen Gupta, Principal KIIT College of Education took this great initiative and is always forthcoming in the arena of imparting value education. He substantiates this due to his immense knowledge of a vast area of different domains. Making an objective assessment of Swami Vivekananda’s contributions to world culture, the eminent British historian A L Basham stated that “in centuries to come, he will be remembered as one of the main moulders of the modern world…” Vivekananda’s concept of ‘potential divinity of the soul’ gives a new, ennobling concept of man. The present age is the age of humanism which holds that man should be the chief concern and centre of all activities and thinking. Through science and technology man has attained great prosperity and power. Modern methods of communication and travel have converted human society into a ‘global village’. But the degradation of man has also been going on apace, as witnessed by the enormous increase in broken homes, immorality, violence, crime, etc. In modern society, Vivekananda’s concept of potential divinity of the soul prevents this degradation, divinizes human relationships, and makes life meaningful and worth living. KIIT in its supreme endeavour of imparting these high ideals on the campus is gearing up for the 150th birthday Celebrations of the stalwart this year. Apart from this, in order to instill zeal and patriotism in the young minds, KIIT celebrates Independence Day and Republic Day with fervour on its campus. Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azaad are some other highly respected freedom fighters whose ideals are propagated.

Adding some points to Dr. Agrawal’s speech he said that speech is a very complex phenomenon. Here the brain is the controller which controls the input, generates the input, even controls the system (the articulators) and decides the speed with which these thoughts are converted into language. This is why some people speak slowly and some fast. Prof. P. S. Grover, Vice Chairman KIIT in his welcome address said that the advent of digitization, digital music data and media has been expanding exponentially. Musical Information Systems, Intelligent MIS, are being designed and used extensively. This involves data gathering, ontology design, audio description, system integration and so on. Design of Musical Information and Retrieval Systems and Intelligent Search mechanisms have thrown many challenges before the research community.

Youth as Electors Now since Haryana is observing 2012 as the “YOUTH YEAR” the thought of empowering them gains more importance and the responsibility to do that lies with the society. The least a society can do in this direction is to allow them a say in the society and into the system. Minimum requirement to avail this liberty is that one should be a registered voter and should possess a voter identity card. A recent survey on the subject points that only 1/4th of youth in the age group of 18-21 years have voter ID Cards and that is a matter of concern for the society and the Election Commission as well. Another 3/4th are not registered and there is a big gap between Electors Population Ratio (EPR) of Youth voters in the State. The age groups of 18-21 years are supposed to belong to student community and are mostly studying in higher educational institutions. These institutions can impress upon the students to register themselves with the
concerned electoral authority. “KIIT” has come forward in addressing the concern of election commission and in reducing the EPR Gap. It has distributed hundreds of registration forms (Form-6) to students and sent the completed forms to Distt. Election Officer. The process would continue till all the students are registered. KIIT has also decided to make this registration mandatory for its future students and has inserted ‘Form-6’ in its admission brochure. R.S.Sharma Administrative Officer KIIT Group of Colleges
The Boon of Detachment There is a story a b o u t a princess who had a small eye problem that she felt was really bad. Being the king's daughter, she was rather spoiled and kept crying all the time. When the doctors wanted to apply medicine, she would invariably refuse any medical treatment and kept touching the sore spot on her eye. In this way it became worse and worse, until finally the king proclaimed a large reward for whoever could cure his daughter. After some time, a man arrived who claimed to be a famous physician, but actually was not even a doctor. He declared that he could definitely cure the princess and was admitted to her chamber. After he had examined her, he exclaimed, "Oh, I'm so sorry!" "What is it?" the princess inquired. The doctor said, "There is nothing much wrong with your eye, but there is something else that is really serious." The princess was alarmed and asked, "What on earth is so serious?" He hesitated and said, "It is really bad. I shouldn't tell you about it." No matter how much she insisted, he refused to tell her, saying that he could not speak without the king's permission. When the king arrived, the doctor was still reluctant to reveal his findings. Finally the king commanded, "Tell us what is wrong. Whatever it is, you have to tell us!" At last the doctor said, "Well,
the eye will get better within a few days that is no problem. The big problem is that the princess will grow a tail, which will become at least nine fathoms long. It may start growing very soon. If she can detect the first moment it appears, I might be able to prevent it from growing." At this news everyone was deeply concerned. And the princess, what did she do? She stayed in bed, day and night, directing all her attention to detecting when the tail might appear. Thus, after a few days, her eye got well. This shows how we usually react. We focus on our little problem and it becomes the center around which everything else revolves. So far, we have done this repeatedly, life after life. We think, "My wishes, my interests, my likes and dislikes come first!" As long as we function on this basis, we will remain unchanged. Driven by impulses of desire and rejection, we will travel the roads of samsara without finding a way out. As long as attachment and aversion are our sources of living and drive us onward, we cannot rest.

Professional Ethics Teaching profession, like any other profession, has its own code of professional ethics that all teachers should follow. It is only then the dignity and integrity of the profession can be ensured. Increased awareness of the ethical principles related to obligations of teachers towards students, parents, colleagues and community is essential to ensure ‘professionalism’ among teachers. Today we find blatant violation of these in many parts of the country that is bringing bad name to the profession. A teacher, therefore, must internalize his/her professional responsibilities in the performance of the duties. We as teachers have to recognize that every student has a fundamental right to education and that too of good quality. And that education has to be directed to the all round development of the personality. It should be done in a morally unobjectionable manner and that is possible only when we remember some key words in this context namely inculcating democratic values, respecting social justice, equal respect to all religions, composite culture of India, imbibing self discipline and creation of a knowledge society. . While dealing with students following cardinal principles should be kept in view: 1. Treat all students with love and affection. 2. Be impartial to all students. 3. Respect the basic human dignity of the student. 4. Adapt teaching to the individual needs of the students. 5. Refrain from subjecting any student under your care to fear, trauma, anxiety, physical punishment and mental and emotional harassment. 6. Establish cordial relations with parents/guardians, A teacher also has some obligations towards his/her own profession and towards colleagues. These may be described as follows: 1. Strive for professional development throughout your career. 2. Treat other members of the profession with respect. 3. Create a culture of mutual communication with colleagues and stakeholders. 4. Refrain from making any unsubstantiated allegation against a colleague. 5. Do not make any derogatory remarks about colleagues, at least in the presence of students, parents or other officials. 6. Reveal confidential information only when you are authorized to do so. A teacher will automatically be loved by the students and respected by the society if he/she keeps these basic principles in mind. Mrs. Shaon Sen Gupta
THE CAREER
Date Tree Versus Banyan Tree
It is happening since last four decades that 95% young skilled and educated people usually try to make their career by building like a date tree; in the heights - on higher status, they increase their educational qualifications, certifications to add in their experience, expertise but most important they use approaches and false formalities to win heart of their bosses and clients. They want it to be high paying as well as some additional benefits. A long lasting struggle begins after 2-3 years of professional life (after study) and continues for whole of life to save the date tree career from opposite situations like bad employee - employer relations - the storms and the financial crises - the cyclone. Then some additional important crises add to the standard date tree career - marriage and then babies. This is also not hidden from anyone that No Money | No Honey, they run for chasing money and earnings since date tree gives him/her an average standard life not as he/she has been wishing while student life. Mental tension increases as the responsibilities of a person in the job overloads because particular organization wants full potential from your professional efforts and in exchange of this also pay a good monthly salary. It was the date tree career we have talked about so far. Now we will discuss about Banyan Tree Career: A career which is being built by only 3% of the people. They develop multiple skills and multi processing work style or we can say that they have many branches. A well educated person has his roots in the depth of the ground. The person keeps multiple knowledge and ability in his/her intellect but uses some of those only for particular task/assignment/job. Today even our educational system has become job oriented. In fact it should involve skill enhancement and development to grow up and go on nourishing it by adding more and more abilities. No doubt many people know all requirements to build a smart career. These may include good clothing, improved communication skills (may be any language but English is necessary for corporate communication), body appearance and its language, clear voice without hesitation, positive and quick learning attitude, pace with changing demands of career and development of additional skills set like IT/Computers skills, communal harmony and good public dealing and speaking skill, behaviour and manners, pleasing personality, appreciating feeling of others, helping hand, good living standard, sharing of knowledge, ability to transform own knowledge as per demand of market. It also involves using selected skills for ever changing needs of market, working with modern trends and using advanced technology. The best way probably is “never think about and run behind jobs, build yourself, up date and upgrade your abilities to build your career since Future belongs to those who prepare for it today…
JAN LOKPAL BILL -
A Magic Potion for Corruption
Karmpal Singh Department of CSE/IT, KIIT College of Engineering, Gurgaon.
“As we are, so we do. As we do, so it is done to us. We are the builders of our fortunes.”
Isn’t it astonishing to see that we Indians continue to be as naïve as we were a century ago? Earlier we were complaining against the invaders and now it is our own government. But the point is not only of the treasure, but more of our constitutional rights that just end up in the pages of our constitution and never reach the common man. And this is all due to the devil of “CORRUPTION” So, I with a soul to fight against it strongly believe that “JAN LOKPAL BILL” is the panacea, the country needs to heel all its ailments. It is a strong law which can withstand to root out corruption from the holy soil of our Mother India. Framed by the social crusaders and the honest patriots of nation, the law aims to effectively deter corruption, redress grievances of citizens and protect the whistleblowers. Then why this bill couldn’t be passed yet? Probably because it needs a different attitude of the Indian citizens. “Unfortunately, it seems people become super optimists that they do this in a single day, and immediately become super pessimists that they can’t do this in one life.” Moumita Kulavi & Pulkit Verma ECE 6TH Sem
Violent tendencies in Students
Reason and Remedies

The stigma of being unemployed as an act that can result in loss of resources, life and haunts them day and night, and they turn violent or use materials either by threat or use of power or force. malpractices like gambling for feeding their belly. The students or youths are the future of a country. They are In our country, the problems of students are not properly full of energy, ideas and enthusiasm. But now-a-days all the addressed or on some occasions not addressed at all. Certainly the students are full of new ideas and ideologies and energy is deviated and wasted in the form of violence. A number of reasons contribute for such violent streaks are free from any social, political and economical evils like among the students. These include faulty educational dowry system, caste system and un-touchability. system, student’s frustration due to unemployment, But due to ugly politics getting injected into our institutions, indifference towards students, problems, continuous the youths are forced to participate in strikes and injection of politics in the educational institutions, demonstrations on issues that do not directly affect them. The agitation of students in Tamil Nadu over ‘Official ideological vacuum, environmental crisis, etc. At School and College level, the students are usually angry Language Bill’ is one such case. over hefty tuition fees, partial behaviour of teachers towards We the students are attracted towards western culture and some particular students, improper administration, ill- traditions and like to copy them or imbibe them in our day to equipped laboratories and library, sub-standard or poor day life. The non-availability of such apparels and fashion standard of hostel facilities, etc. All these factors get engulfed clothes in our Indian market further adds to the resentment in the minds of the youths and then result in an outburst in and anger. One can see loss of traditional sentiments at the form of physical violence like destroying and breaking of colleges or homes. Students think of their teachers as ‘sellers’ who impart education to them only because they are paid to resources and facilities. Moreover, the educational institutions focus more on do so. They have developed a mentality that ‘Every teacher theoretical knowledge and study rather than the practicals. has a price’, and they mistreat their ‘Gurus’ and teachers. This results in formation of mindset among students that all These violent tendencies in students are a human problem they have been acquiring in their colleges would go waste or and should be addressed to as soon as possible. There are a would not be of any use once they graduate. They can number of remedies to this stigma or a cancerous disease. be seen moving from The first and foremost step should be the change in education pillar to post in search system and administration in the educational bodies and of job, which they institutes. The grading and marking system should be made hardly get or get only if transparent to one and all. t h e y h a v e s o m e In addition to above, the use of forces and police should be sources or ‘Jacks’. discarded on occasions of strikes and unrest among The institutes have youths.

The b e c o m e ‘ b a b o o ’ students are lathi charged, or tear gas is used producing industries against them as if they are some criminals. without any focus They should be allowed and motivated to on life enhancing enter into politics. If one is capable enough to vote for the right then or public he/she must also be knowledgable about what is good for him and the country as a whole.
